Boeing Execs Walk Away with Millions as Victim Families Slam Company Response
A new Netflix documentary, Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing, shines a light on the victims of two fatal plane crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed over 300 people. Among them was 25-year-old Sam Pegram from Preston, who died in the Ethiopian Airlines crash in 2019.
The investigation found that Boeing's new software was responsible for the crash, leading to a worldwide grounding of the 737 Max aircraft.
Sam's family is speaking out against Boeing's response to his death, calling it 'pure evil' due to its lawyers' argument that 'undisputed evidence shows that death was instantaneous' and passengers wouldn't have felt any pain before impact.
The family of the victims has formed a strong community, with some members being whistleblowers who came forward with allegations about Boeing's culture. However, despite efforts to hold the company criminally accountable, they were ultimately unsuccessful.
